The Constellation Model Flying Club was established in 1946.  Our aims are “The promotion and encouragement of model aircraft building and model aircraft flying in all its aspects”

Our club has a healthy membership with over 100 members.  Our members enjoy flying at the field on most days of the week, weather permitting.  In South Australia, we enjoy flying for at least 10 months of the year, with the odd days in summer where it is too hot and a few weeks over winter where the field gets saturated with water.

If you are interested in Radio Controlled Model Aircraft, you are welcome to come out to the field and have a look.  The best times to come along are:
Saturday morning with lots of members.
Monday and Friday there is always several flyers beating the Saturday rush.
Sunday may have a programmed event, Pattern, Pylon, or Fun Fly gathering.

The CMFC is affiliated with MASA (State) and MAAA (National) parent bodies.

The SAHPGA Inc (formerly SAHGA Inc) is the state association covering our sports of hang gliding, paragliding, powered variants and weight-shift microlight flying in South Australia and the Northern Territory.  

SAHPGA Inc members have an informal get together when required.  To meets us please call or email us so we can put you on our local chat groups which we use to talk among ourselves and contact pilots.  This will also allow you to talk to our members and get you out to the hill and meet the pilots face to face and fly.

Holdfast Model Aero Club (HMAC) consists of a very active group of modellers (approximately 120 members at present) who enjoy the facilities provided at our field located 20 Kms south west of the city of Adelaide, South Australia. The flying site is unique in that it is located close to a main road giving exceptional exposure to the public.

Meetings are held twice a month in the club room at the field. The first Friday of the month is a general meeting, commencing at 7:30 pm with usually a guest speaker on aeromodelling/aviation. The third Tuesday of the month is a Committee meeting, commencing at 7:00 pm, although the meeting is open to all Club Members on request.

Newcomers to R/C modelling are catered for by setting aside every Sunday morning from 10:00 am (weather permitting) when qualified instructors will teach all aspects required for the safe operation of the model. During the training period no other models are allowed to fly, ensuring the least possible distractions to the student.

Other than Sunday morning the field is available for general flying from 10:00 am till 7:00 pm every day of the week. Due to the reasonably close proximity of the suburbs the club imposes a 96 db noise limit. However, gliders and electric aircraft may be flown at any time.

At the Adelaide Soaring Club we train people to fly Gliders and powered Light Sports Aircraft (LSA). It just depends where your aviation passion lies. The club owns and maintains an excellent range of modern aircraft.  Our instructors are second to none just like our excellent safety record. Whether you just want to experience the joy of a once off flight or you would like to learn how to fly, our fully qualified and friendly team will help you achieve your dreams of flight.

The Adelaide Soaring Club is located at Gawler just 42km’s north of the City of Adelaide. It is reached by road or rail in less than an hour.

For visitors, Gawler is also at the doorstep of the Barossa Valley, South Australia’s world famous wine making region.

The club has comfortable clubhouse facilities including a self-help kitchen, licensed bar, bunkhouse accommodation and showers / toilets.

Visitors to Gawler may find motel accommodation just a few kilometres from the field. There are also two caravan parks in the area.

Glider launching is by aero tow. We operate everyday except Tuesdays and Christmas day.   Light Sport Aircraft are available for training on most Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Aircraft may be flown by rated members on any day unless they are booked for training.

The best way to experience what gliding is all about is to try an Air Experience Flight (AEF). During this introductory flight, you’ll experience a flight in one of our two-seater training aircraft with a fully qualified instructor. The AEF will last approximately 20 minutes, during which time you’ll get to have a go on the controls, and gain height in a thermal (weather dependant). Should you be interested in going further with your training, your instructor will explain the process and how you can learn to fly solo and beyond. AEF prices start from as little as $160.

Flinders University's Squash and Racquetball Club aims to facilitate an ongoing presence for squash and racquetball, at the social and competitive levels--both on and off campus!

Our sessions run on Wednesdays 6-8pm and Saturdays 9am-1pm, keep an eye on our posts and events on Facebook.

South Australian Masters Squash Association (SAMS) is a not for profit organisation founded to provide recreational sport for participants over 30 years of age in a friendly, competitive environment.

Masters’ Mixed Squash Competitions are played at Squash Centres around Adelaide starting at 7:30 or 8:00 pm most weekdays.

Monday, Thursday and Friday nights have pennants that are zoned Central, North or South. Tuesday is played only at Kidman Park.

Teams are arranged so that players with similar skills compete so everyone has the chance to enjoy the sport and the social setting.

You are most welcome to join us as a regular player or to reserve on a casual basis. You’ll meet like-minded people who also enjoy playing squash as well as the social interaction.

If you are looking for a great way to get fit, meet new people, and have fun, squash or racquetball could be the sport for you. To get started all you need is a ball, a racket, and a wall (or four!) Your local squash centre can provide all of these for you.

There are approximately 40 South Australian clubs, recreation centres, universities and colleges with courts available for public use.  Use our Court Finder to find a great facility in your local area.

Most centres allow you to pay and play without signing up for a membership, and courts tend to cost $20 to $30 per hour for 2 people. Many regular players go on to join a club, which can provide access to competition, coaching, and a thriving social network.

There are many junior programs designed for school aged children. After school training programs are a fun, cost effective way for kids to get started. Junior squash offers improved fitness and skills for growing bodies with pathways for kids to extend as they become more experienced.
